About Nursery Cottage
Nursery Cottage is a semi-detached house in Hothfield, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1250 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
